View MoreThe limousine smelled like leather, polish and old money.I sat stiffly at the edge of the plush leather seats, my hands placed gently on my lap like they belonged to someone else.The events of the past few minutes kept on playing in my mind, and the more I relived them, the more I realized I had absolutely no idea why Sylas had acted that way.Outside the car, the courthouse and the reporters had all disappeared behind the tinted glass, but one thing that didn't fade though, was the sound. The sounds of the camera shutters and the screams, all of it was there, but they were all overshadowed by one sound — the sound of Sylas' lips smacking on mine.I shifted, finally gathering enough strength to turn to him.“You kissed me?” I asked, “Why?”Sylas didn’t look surprised, if anything, he looked more composed than ever, his bubbling act was now cleaned up, and in its place was the stoic and smooth visage of a man who knew he had the whole world at his fingertips.He glanced down and loos
If anyone had told me just two weeks ago, that I would be standing in a registrar’s office wearing a white dress that cost more than my annual salary, and getting married to Sylas Gold, I would have laughed in their face.If they had told my parents?I would have been locked up in a psych ward.My mother’s rough breaths were the only sounds in the room as the registrar finished calling out our names. I glanced behind me and spotted my father still staring at me in disbelief, like he had forgotten the very act of blinking itself.Both of them stared at me like I had grown a second head overnight.“Vera,” my mother whispered from the bench right behind us, she could not care one bit that Sylas could hear her. “You know you don’t have to go through with this, right?”I swallowed, and kept my eyes forward,“I do,” I said, quietly, “I have already signed the papers.”Beside me, Sylas nodded. He stood tall, his posture calm and unshaken. He was dressed in a black, tailored suit that probabl
I stopped walking the moment I entered the restaurant. For a brief moment, I debated turning around and immediately walking out.The place was... intimidating. It was huge, had glowing crystal chandeliers, and the marble floors were so polished, it looked like glass.The air of the restaurant smelled faintly of spices and perfume, and every single table was occupied with people who looked as though they belonged here.I, on the other hand, felt like an impostor and an intruder.I let out a sigh, and began walking forward, since I was already here, I had no choice but to at least see this through. My heels clicked too loudly as I walked forward.This was a mistake. I knew it, but mom was persistent and, since she claims it was just dinner, I had no choice but to go through with it.“Right, just dinner.” I muttered under my breath as I shook my head, and scanned the room, searching for my date. I had no idea what he looked like, all I had was a name and the fact that he was very, very s
The cold, icy night air bit into my skin the moment the door shut behind me.For a while, I did nothing else but stand there on the porch with my suitcase held tightly in my hands. My body trembled violently, whether from the pain in my cheek, or the sheer adrenaline rushing through my body, I didn’t know, and right then, I honestly did not care.All I knew was the simple and final fact that I was done.With Evan, with love, and with relationships.My vision blurred as I forced myself down the steps. It took me only a couple of seconds to reach my car, throw my suitcase into the backseat, and start the engine.That last part was the hardest. My hands were trembling, and it took a few tries for me to be able to turn the key. The engine turned to life, and my love collapsed along with it.I drove,Somewhere, anywhere.It didn’t matter. I had no plan, no thoughts, no destination, just a desire to be free. It was only when I began to recognize the streets I was driving through that I real
